That is a long time.
Q. Why do we call Snipper Snipper?
I don’t know. That is just what we’ve always called him.
Answer via Ma:
I don’t know why he has the nick-name Snipper but that is what his father called him. I thought Snipper was a good affectionate name for you kids to call him since you and Ebony already called someone daddy.

Last week’s mix was all about biggie which got me thinking how it’s interesting how Big is essentially a local artist where i live now. Which led to wondering who came from the backyards and hoods of my fellow exchange mixtape contributers?
Jen: Florida
Panama: Atlanta
Me: Springfield, Ohio
Sam: North Carolina (i had to look that up on wiki)
George 2.0: Philly
Liz: Cali
Eyejammy: ( ? I was expecting to get hip to some dope toronto/fillipino cat, ha)
Marcia: Gary, Indiana
OJ: I’m going going back back to cali cali
Cye: Netherlands (right?)
Ouxu: Haarlem, Netherlands
My next choice was Roger Troutman aka the origial T-Pain. (he used the talk box, the thing that snoop is singing through in his Sexual Eruption video)
He’s been growing out his beard for a few months now. I asked him about it last night and he mentioned he was cutting it off today. I ran upstairs grabbed my camera and took a few shots.

Ok, I’m excited about this mix cause it’s all about bedstuy brooklyn. (okay, maybe not all about my hood but it’s biggie and biggie is from ’round the way so…) I picked the remix to Lean Back for a couple reasons:
1. I figured someone would have taken one of these tracks: I Got a Story to Tell, Suicidle Thoughts, and Big Poppa the JD remix which is my all time favorite Big track. I want to post them all for you to listen but I’m at the airport and the connecgtion is hella slow.
2. I love the part “WHERE BROOKLYN AT? WHERE BROOKLYN AT?”
3. I didn’t think may folks have heard this mix. I could be wrong but…
4. I think that is all. Enjoy.

Blazey and I traveled down to Cincinnati to spend some time with our good friend Aileen’s parents this past weekend (Q is in Australia). Mom had a little birthday celebration for her brother Neal who died almost a year ago. A bunch of Neal and Aileen’s friends came out to eat up mom’s Filipino dishes and send off messages in balloons.
OH, so for the past 4 or 5 years (since the day i met Mrs Aquino) she’s tried to get me to eat pork. Well she finally succeeded with a little trickery. She told blazey and I that she made everything pork free for me this weekend. I start eating this amazing broccoli salad with turkey bacon and comment on how good it is and mention something about the bacon being turkey. She then says, “yeah, you don’t eat pork that’s why i told you it was turkey bacon”. But she told it so dry that i didn’t know if she was joking or not. I take a look at the fatty bacon on my plate and can’t help but start cracking up.
